i have a serious case of "bedhead".

It's not going to be new news that I'm having a hard time making a decision.

Must be the Gemini traits interfering with my master bedroom makeover.

Wait.

You didn't know I was making over my master bedroom?

Well, me either really.

That is, until I casually mentioned to my aunt that I was wanting to sell the furniture in our bedroom and she, without hesitation, said she wanted it!

I'm sure I have pictures of it floating around somewhere that I will dig up for the actual before and after post. But for now, let's just say that a giant matching set of headboard, footboard, dresser with mirror and cedar chest (in oak, I think) didn't do any favors to our kind-of-on-the-small-side master bedroom that gets very little natural sunlight.

So, two weeks after my aunt said she wanted it... it was gone.

And although I already had bedding I love, decided on two nightstands, scored an antique ornate mirror from Craigslist, and moved the armoire from the guest room to hide the fact that we do indeed have a tv in the bedroom...

I cannot decide on a bed!

Do I want metal?

Or upholstered?

Just the headboard?

Or, headboard and footboard?

So, here we go again friends.

I need to know what you think???

To give you an idea of the "feel" I want in the room, here is a list of what we have so far:

I think the vintage metal bed would look great with the vibe you have going in there - I wouldn't even paint it though - I think the dark metal against the white bedding looks really beautiful. (But if you do end up painting it white I think that will look beautiful too!)

And I know what you mean about the weather - I had to shovel twice yesterday -since we got about four inches here in Minneapolis!

I think you need a white upholstered headboard in a gorgeous linen to add some texture to the room (maybe a DIY project). I would forgo the footboard because it might take away from the beautiful details in your bedding.

I just happened upon your blog while searching for bedroom inspiration, and I have to tell you that our bedrooms are probably going to look very similar! I want to paint our walls gray, I have the Shabby Chic duvet and shams you pictured and I can't afford the Claudia bed from PB so I've been looking at the Kensington from JCP!
